SAN JOSE — Timo Meier and Tomas Hertl scored their first goals of the season Sunday night, and they both had Logan Couture to thank.
Couture set up Meier for his goal at the 3:04 mark of the first period then found Hertl for a shorthanded marker late in the second period as the Sharks won for the first time at home this season, beating the Calgary Flames 3-1 at SAP Center.
Kevin Labanc added another goal off the rush and Martin Jones made 32 saves as the Sharks improved to 2-0 with Patrick Marleau in the lineup after they started the season with four straight losses.
